Remember how the left blamed the shooting of an AZ congresswoman on the Tea Party? Then they found out he wasn't connected to really anybody. He was just an insane waste sucking oxygen here on planet Earth. Remember how they all struggled with some new form of "civility" and that they felt that amping up certain phrases or images would incite people to violence? Look no further for the Lead By Example mantra than the fine kookytown rep. Maxine Waters! Please, go to the link...watch the video. Witness with your own eyes as she gins up the thuggish SEIU purple shirt wearing crowd. Yeah...thugs. Remember who was to blame for all the violence at Tea Party rallies...


Their Fearless Leader - Andy Stern


Who's beating the drums at a commie LA rally? Purple tshirts...


SEIU beatdown on camera!



By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller

So much for dialing back the rhetoric, right?

On Saturday in Inglewood, Calif., Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters had some harsh words for the tea party.

“I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.” (RELATED: House ethics committee hires outside counsel for Waters case)

That proclamation was met with cheers from the audience, including attendees sporting purple SEIU T-shirts.

Pay attention to the leadership of Waters. She's chumming the waters for violence.

.SEIU isn't violent though....

And don't forget Veep Biteme calling them terrorists.

Union Astroturf Pretends Like Tea Partiers to Attack GOP Written By : Warner Todd Huston

The Hill has an interesting, if not a bit slanted, report about the faux grassroots efforts of unions and left-wing advocates to pretend they are somehow just like the Tea Party by attacking the town hall meetings of various GOP congressman across the country this Summer.

The Hill dutifully reports without complaint the union’s claims that they are organizing just like the Tea Partiers and forcing GOP congressmen to face “angry protests at home” this month in a “replication” of the Tea Party backlash that “bit” Democrats in 2009.

“Liberal groups have been planning these protests for months,” trumpets The Hill, “One organizer told The Hill in February that the campaign would ‘build to a crescendo’ in August.”

These protests have been organized by Obama’s supporters in government unions like the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the AFL-CIO as well as far left NGOs such as MoveOn.org, Campaign for America’s Future and others.

The report goes on to note that several congressmen have faced unruly audiences this August.

At least ten other House Republicans have been the targets of protests or angry questions at public events in the last two weeks. Many of the protests are the outcome of a months-long effort by labor unions and liberal advocacy groups to turn up public pressure on GOP lawmakers.

These groups have taken a page from the Tea-Party playbook and are trying to replicate the August of outrage that nearly sunk President Obama’s healthcare reform initiative in 2009.

“This is very similar to what the Tea Party did,” said Roger Hickey, co-director of Campaign for America’s Future, which has worked with labor unions and liberal groups to help organize a public backlash to the House GOP agenda.

Only these orchestrated attacks are nothing like what happened in 2009 as the Tea Party movement first started gaining steam.

The Tea Party events were not organized by unions, they did not have millions of dollars behind them, they had no national organizations, no formal groups to which to belong or by which to organize. The protests that Democrats faced in 2009 were real citizens gathering on their own hook not organized from the top like these faux protests are being raised today.

There is no parallel at all between these fake, astroturfed protests funded by Democrat operatives and union thugs and the spontaneous protests peopled by real voters that occurred in 2009, gatherings that eventually became the full-blown Tea Party movement.

Once again we see that these unions have had to spend untold dollars and months organizing to get the “dozens of constituents” that have turned out to this Summer’s meetings. By contrast Tea Party events have turned out millions of participants over these last few years few funded by anyone but the participants themselves.

What this shows is that unions and leftists have to employ a top down sort of organizing to get any support for their ideals. It shows that there is no real enthusiasm among regular Americans for the left-wing agenda.

Above all it shows that the left is still no closer to replicating the true enthusiasm and verve and the true grassroots efforts of the Tea Party movement… despite The Hill trying to give them the legitimacy of the claim.



Why you just can't make this stuff up!

They do it for you!

Here's the article from The Hill that's referenced in the above article.

Specifically, these groups are mobilizing constituents around the country to oppose cuts in social services and entitlement programs and to demand increases in taxes on wealthy families.

“We’re working with a large network of groups on the Rebuild the Dream movement. That includes MoveOn.org, Change to Win, SEIU, the AFL-CIO and Democracy for America,” Hickey said.

The public pressure campaign is not targeted exclusively on Republicans. These groups are organizing constituents in Democratic districts to call on lawmakers to oppose cuts to entitlement programs.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) heard heckles and jeers at a town-hall meeting this week. Constituents were angry she voted for a deficit-reduction package that could lead to a 2 percent cut in Medicare benefits, which Pelosi had described as a “Satan sandwich with Satan fries.”

Joanna Burgos, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, dismissed the protests as ginned up by liberal groups.

“House Republicans are just as frustrated with Washington as every other American is. Despite the best efforts by liberal interest groups to disrupt many of these events, Republicans will not stop hearing from their constituents and fighting the job-destroying agenda of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi,” Burgos said.

But Amaya Tune, a spokeswoman for the AFL-CIO, said the public anger is very real and labor unions are merely giving people the organizational tools to make their voices heard.

“A lot of this is very organic,” Tune said. “We give people some guidance and a platform. There’s a website if people want to hold events.”

The AFL-CIO announced this month it would launch a nationwide campaign to turn up the heat on GOP lawmakers at home.

“This August, working families are lifting their voices to hold politicians accountable and call for an economy that strengthens the middle class. Participants will tell members of Congress and state legislators that their extreme political agenda is not in line with working Americans at more than 450 events across the country,” Alison Omens, the AFL-CIO’s media director, wrote in a memo dated Aug. 5.



If I was paying dues to a union and they were doing this with MY money...I'd be pissed!

If the SEIU can gain enough strength, they should go the the UN and demand statehood in September!

Maybe they could borrow some of those Palestinian tablecloths to wear around their heads and loan some of their purple shirts to them and they can have a floatilla or 3 too!

Did you read it on the internets..?? 😕

the Koch brothers are the "Great Satan" of the liberals.

It keeps the masses focused even while Obama is demanding that congress pass three free trade agreements that have been delayed.

I am no fan of unions. That's a fact. I lost my first job during divesture to my "brothers" that had 25-30 years. They could've retired with what they made, instead they bumped off the "young bucks". The entire Bell Corp. lost a generation and it shows. I had 3-1/2 years...you had to have 5 to remain. It had nothing to do with productivity. Just tenure with the union. Do you think I'd ever have a union job after that? It has remained a very bitter bone of contention throughout my professional career, having union thugs bugging us to unionize. Thanks...no thanks. I'm doing just fine without you and your lecherous dues sucking parasitic behavior.

The Koch Brothers "started" the Tea Party?

Really?

By all means...please share these fine links with the board so we can see the info.

There will be a deduction of style points if you include Op Ed or The Onion as references.

Why is everyone so aganst the Koch Brothers all of a sudden. I like their movies. I think the big lebowski is a classic.
